Dog Treats

July 4, 2014 by  

Giving out treats to your furry friend can be a great way to reward good behaviour, but giving too many treats can lead to weight gain since the calories can quickly add up!

It is recommended treats make up no more than 10% of a dog’s daily calorie intake – how much that will be varies depending on each individual dog (based on breed, size, their activity/exercise level, and age). In Vancouver, there is an overwhelming selection of dog treats in all the pet stores that I have visited, and I have noticed that not all treats are created equal, so be sure to read labels to find out the quality of the products. Or even better, make your own treats at home using natural, wholesome ingredients.
